Eleanor - Blanket
Introducing our stunning lace chevron pattern blanket, designed to keep your little ones cozy and snug. Featuring a beautiful moss stitch border, this blanket is not only visually appealing but also wonderfully soft and substantial—perfect for those chilly nights or as a lovely nursery centerpiece.
This knitting pattern includes detailed written instructions in English, utilizing UK terms, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels. The approximate size of the blanket after blocking is 34x32 inches, ensuring it’s just the right size for cribs, strollers, or cuddly moments on the couch. (Please note that the size may increase a couple of inches during the blocking process; expect it to be slightly smaller prior to this step.)
For this project, I used Knitcraft Make the Change DK yarn in a delightful Lilac shade, but feel free to substitute any yarn that meets the weight and tension requirements for a personalized touch. This pattern is versatile, allowing you to experiment with various colors to match your décor or gift preferences.
The specified tension for this pattern is 22 stitches and 28 rows to achieve a 4-inch (10 cm) square over stocking stitch using 4mm/#6 needles. This ensures a consistent, professional finish that will last through years of love and use. The yarn weight is classified as DK/Light, making it a comfortable option for both beginner and experienced knitters.
In total, you will need approximately 300 grams or 780 meters of yarn to complete this gorgeous blanket. This project not only serves as an excellent introduction to lace knitting but also results in a practical and cherished item for any parent or caregiver.
